Comments
Photo below shows what I would consider to be suspect and hazardous terrain with the current setup. There was a bit of wind effect, with denser wind blown snow over super weak facets capped by rime crust/facet sandwiches. Although the slab did not appear very sensitive with the little prodding I gave it, and was not very widely distributed or connected, any ride through the trees would make for a bad day. Safer conditions out of wind affected terrain where sluffing was the main issue as the snow was not dense enough to form much of a slab. Overall moderate with considerable in wind loaded terrain.
